In the course of an weeks-long investigation, Kromtech Security Center discovered that a misconfigured MongoDB database allowed them to access data from almost 31 million users.

But security analysts were quick to warn of the amount of information that mobile apps gather about users, and said the practice was not acceptable. As per the report, the server was left unsecured without a password allowing access to the company's user database. The server has since been secured, but Fitusi did not respond when we asked for comment.

ZDNet who obtained a portion of the database to verify the information collected by the servers made a few scarier revelations to the breach. Leaked records as per Kromtech Security, also had a range of other statistics like the most popular users' Google queries for different regions. More specifically it collected device IMSI and IMEI numbers, device makes and models, phone screen resolutions, phone numbers, the names of cell phone providers, IP addresses, internet providers, and Android version numbers. Accompanying the numbers were the make and model of the device, its screen resolution and the version of Android it was running.

For reasons now unclear, some of the leaked information is reported to also include details linked to Google profiles, such as birth dates, genders, and profile pictures. These weren't insignificant details either, they contained phone numbers, web searches and email addresses and corresponding passwords. One table listed 10.7 million email addresses, while another contained 374.6 million phone numbers. Fitusi added that the input data is "non-personal" so it can't be connected to a particular user or device.

Among the compromised data are dates of birth, email addresses, passwords and information from their Google accounts, as well as all the actual text typed using the keyboard. AI.type is no exception, with read access to contact data, text messages, photos and video access and other on-device storage, record audio, and full network access.

So pretty much the promise of privacy, which ai.type outlines on its website has appeared to have a strong whiff of BS.

The seven-year-old company also claims that anything typed using its keyboards "stays encrypted and private".
